ASICS GT-1000 9 GS Junior Running Shoes

Refresh your child's look with the help of the ASICS kids' GT-1000 9 GS running shoe with a revamped design that sports eye-catching colours and prints.

Breathable Mesh Upper

Constructed using a Breathable Mesh Upper, the ASICS Gel-Contend 6 junior Running Shoes feature a breathable mesh upper which encases each foot in breathable comfort. The mesh allows air to fully permeate the entire upper, providing a constant supply of fresh, cool air while simultaneously forcing out hot, muggy air. The mesh upper creates a perfect microclimate for your feet to thrive in. Overlays have been used on the upper to increase structure and support. The overlays have been placed around the midfoot and around the toe for long-lasting comfort and guide. The upper has been designed to provide excellent support for young feet, good news for when your toddler just wants to keep on going and going. Completing the upper is a lacing system which locks down the midfoot to reduce in-shoe slippage for a distraction-free fit.

EVA Midsole

The midsole of the ASICS GT-1000 9 GS Junior Running Shoes features comfortable, flexible and durable EVA. Generous, soft and durable, it spares your little one's joints as you strike down onto hard, unforgiving surfaces. Exceptionally lightweight, the EVA ensures long-lasting cushioning to keep you comfortable on longer distance days. EVA is extremely firm, which will absorb shocks instantly and effectively, preventing them from causing any damage to the sole of the foot. Embedded within this pillowy platform, and complimenting its bouncy nature, is the Rearfoot GEL Cushioning System. It works to reduce shock during the impact phase and promotes a peaceful transition to midstance. ASICS contrast their cushioning with the Duomax Support System. Implemented on the medial side, it helps to control pronation and reduce the risk of injury, enhancing stability and support without sacrificing lightweight or comfort.

Durable Rubber Outsole

Developed using a durable rubber outsole, the ASICS GT-1000 9 GS Junior Running Shoes ensures improved grip in varied conditions. The rubber outsole is able to form a solid bond with the ground beneath it to ensure traction and grip on road surfaces. As well as this, the rubber outsole is highly durable to ensure long-lasting wear. The durable nature of the rubber will not wear down easily so these shoes will withstand the trials and tribulations of the playground. Completing the outsole are flex grooves which assist with grip and form a solid base to push from. The grooves allow the whole of the outsole to naturally flex where the foot flexes to increase comfort as well as performance.
